Strolz and the controversy about education: friendship or expertise?
The former Neos boss Matthias Strolz is currently causing excitement in Vienna after warning against an "emergency" and "social explosive" based on the mass immigration. These statements are in direct contradiction to those of his party friend, the Neos Vice Mayor Christoph Return, who advises Strolz for the establishment of a "Center for Education Inovation". For this six -month advisory activity, Strolz receives up to 30,000 euros, which the Vienna FPÖ and ÖVP called on the scene to express the allegations of "friendship management", since return has put a party colleague on such a highly dop as Nachrichten. reported.
FPÖ chairman Dominik Nepp criticized the procedure of the Vienna SPÖ and referred to the devastating conditions in Vienna, which in his opinion was reinforced by the misguided invitation policy by Mayor Ludwig. Strolz’s warnings for NepP underpower his party's claims for years about the negative consequences of immigration policy. He emphasized that the FPÖ resolved to stop the mass rush of asylum seekers, and announced that he wanted to delete all social benefits for asylum persons immediately if he became mayor after the Vienna election. NPP demands security and order in the Viennese schools, streets and neighborhoods, which according to him is only possible with a strong FPÖ, according to the statements of apa.at
In the middle of these political tensions, the office returns to a position and defends the decision to hire Strolz as a consultant. Return confirmed the transparency of the procedure and emphasized Strolz 'expertise in the field of education, which results from his previous commitment as a management consultant. However, this defense does not seem to affect the opposition's criticism, which continues to demand that those responsible should concentrate on the actual problems in education. The controversy around the award of this advisory point show how deep the conflict between the political factions in Vienna are enough and what promising challenges are still before them.
